I bought a new Media Center M7100Y and I had copied the mediatab.dat file
from my old computer to the new one and it worked fine. But when I copied
the mediatab.dat file from my M7100Y and copied it back to my M1180n computer
it would not work. Also the help talks about a Windows Movie Maker.col file
and I have searched and cannot find it anywhere. Anybody know about my
problem?

Check the Managing > Collections page of my website.

The mediatab.dat file has a numeric suffix that has to align..... and the
COL file is the collection database for Movie Maker 1... if you didn't use
MM1 on the computer, there wouldn't be any.
